FRONT ROW AT L'EPICERIE | A NEW KITCHEN SUPPER SERIES AT CLARIDGE'S
July 2025
This season, Claridge’s continues its celebrated collaboration with The Good Food Guide, unveiling a new wave of culinary talent set to take centre stage as part of the hotel’s Kitchen Supper Series.
A refined yet convivial dining experience, the Kitchen Supper Series invites guests to sit front row at the chef’s table - L’Epicerie, an intimate space overlooking Claridge’s legendary kitchens - as some of the UK’s most exciting chefs take over for one night only. Curated in partnership with the Good Food Guide, the series champions exceptional chefs from across Britain, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy their menus without leaving the capital.
Newly announced names include Merlin Labron-Johnson, of Michelin-starred Osip in Somerset, and Paul Ainsworth, from the acclaimed Paul Ainsworth at No6 in Padstow, Cornwall. Each will bring their own distinctive flavour and philosophy to the table, preparing a bespoke menu in the heart of Mayfair for just 14 guests per evening.
Simon Attridge, Culinary Director at Claridge’s, commented:
“The L’Epicerie is at the beating heart of the kitchen here at Claridge’s and we are proud to introduce these suppers to showcase the best of culinary talent across the UK. Working alongside the distinguished network of The Good Food Guide, we look forward to exploring alternative and innovative menus and produce, whilst of course celebrating the timeless tradition of the hotel.”
Adam Hyman, Publisher of The Good Food Guide, added:
“Since it launched in 1951, The Good Food Guide has always been about showcasing the best cooking around Britain… We are incredibly excited to collaborate with Claridge’s for the Kitchen Supper Series and bring some of Britain’s best chefs to the heart of Mayfair to cook their food with Simon and his team.”
The Kitchen Supper Series brings a taste of Britain’s finest culinary destinations—from Devon to Cumbria, Wales to Somerset - into Claridge’s exquisite dining spaces. Whether you’re a Londoner or a hotel guest, this is an unmissable opportunity to enjoy innovative menus from celebrated chefs, all under one iconic roof.
